Submit videos of YOU to math@nerdist.com! We are looking for people who use math in their jobs — anything from a chef who does fraction conversions in her head to an aeronautical engineer. Submit a short video of yourself describing how you use math in your job and why you love what you do. But even if you don’t use math in your job, you can still play! Do you have an interesting perspective on math you’d like to share? What’s your favorite or least favorite part about math?

Email your stuff to math@nerdist.com by Monday March 11th — and don’t forget to include your name and contact info, if you want to be considered. We can accept videos by Vimeo, Dropbox or even YouTube.

Happy video-ing!

So, buff up your quadratic equations, shine your right isosceles triangles, and serve up the pi. It’s time to show the world that math is fun!

It’s tough fitting in as a kid but it can feel impossible if you’re a geeky kid. Your kids might be into less mainstream things because you’re a geeky parent or because they happened to gravitate toward fantasy or science fiction all on their own. Either way, it can leave them feeling like no one “gets them.” Actress and writer Jessica Mills has been there as a geek kid growing up in rural Texas. She even turned some of her experiences as an adult into the hit web series Awkward Embraces. Listen in as she talks about her challenges, how she overcame them, and how parents can help their kids feel like they’re not weird and find a place where they belong.
